Your BLACK+DECKER™ Electric Pressure
Cooker has been specially designed to safely
control the steam pressure and temperature
during cooking . Below are instructions on
how to properly assemble your pressure
cooker to ensure optimal results .
Note: Place the pressure cooker on a dry,
level surface . Because small amounts of
steam will escape during the heating,
and sometimes the cooking process,
do not use the pressure cooker under
overhanging cabinets .
1 . To open the lid: Hold the lid handle
and turn the lid counter-clockwise
until the marking on the lid aligns
with the OPEN
pressure cooker; lift the lid straight up
and off the pressure cooker .
2 . Place the pressure release valve on
the lid . The valve will snap into place,
but will fit loosely so steam escapes
properly .

3 . Ensure that the rubber gasket is clean
and securely fitted around the metal
ring inside of the lid .
4 . Add foods and liquids to be cooked
to the cooking bowl according to the
recipe, and place in the interior of the
pressure cooker .
Note: Never fill the cooking bowl above
the MAX fill line as it may clog the pressure
release valve and cause excess pressure to
build . When cooking foods such as dried
beans, vegetables, rice and grains, do not
fill the cooking bowl above the 5 cup line as
these foods will expand during cooking .
5 . To close the lid: Hold the lid handle
and turn the lid clockwise until the
marking on the lid aligns with the
CLOSE
cooker . The lid is now locked in place .
